...Aaaaand someone else for ETC to sue the pants off of, hopefully. Oh, and check out how the fixture's upside down. Why don't people stop imitating and start innovating?

Because imitating is easier.

It even uses the HPL Lamp..

Found the main website. Looks like lots of people might like to sue them to me. Of course they are in China so good luck with that.

Product Specs
Hey, look! Their entire product line looks oddly familiar. Odd.

I like their R&D page.

Especially this paragraph:
"Our high quality R&D team goes abroad to learn the latest patterns every year. We also invite clients to work with us in researching and developing new designs. Experienced technicians use computers to design new styles. Thus, we can bring forth new styles every year. The customers designated designs and ideas about products or parts are also welcome."

The product line looks more like they have a R&S department (Research and Steal).

Hey ST or any of the ETC crew before we keep bashing these guys can you tell us if they have licensed the use of the HPL and your zoom design? OR is this a "I'm on the phone with my lawyer right now... no comment" sort of situation?

My favorite thing about the product images is that in every one something is upside down:
Look at the accessory slot here:
A New source for zoom Profile Spot!-knockoff1.jpg

Look at the color frame clip here:
A New source for zoom Profile Spot!-knockoff2.jpg

Look at the whole unit here:

Soup or art?

Seriously,
It looks like someone just took the pictures of the Source Four and the Source Four Zoom and photo shopped them and then rotated the pictures 180°. If that isn't it, I really do smell a Esinkoff/Cunningham law suit coming (it's gonna be tough but it probably will happen)

Their 1200 Watt moving ead wash looks oddly like a Robe mover...

Hahahahaha well said. xD

I love this:
"Our high quality R&D team goes abroad to learn the latest patterns every year."

Latest patterns = Learn what ETC did

Then they say this to make it sound like they really make their own gear:

"Experienced technicians use computers to design new styles."
xD Ridiculous
